My client is a well established and highly regarded global organisation operating in more than 70 countries. They are without question the global leader in their market and their multi-billion revenues come from fields as diverse as brewing and healthcare. They have a passion for innovation and excellence and continue to build on their success across the globe.

The UK operation is headquartered in the West Midlands.

Currently they are looking to add a new member to their engineering division. This is a key post for the organisation and requires an engineer with outstanding project and cost management skills to coordinate engineering services projects ensuring costing and budgets are maintained.

Project Engineering Coordinator

The role requires an individual trained in a mechanical engineering discipline. However, the role is primarily office and cost based, rather than a hands-on engineering role. It is vital that applicants have solid understanding of engineering principles and be able to spot errors in engineering plans as well as errors in costing / budgeting.

An understanding of piping systems and pipe work installations is necessary to understand my clients business and thus calculate budgets and bids correctly. Any knowledge of gasses and gas piping would be hugely beneficial as would any experience with pressure equipment.

Day-to-day responsibilities are that of a project engineer or technical / cost-co-ordinator and include:
+ Preparation & control of engineering projects to ensure completion on time and within budget
+ Assessing site survey data to ensure technical proposals meet customer requirements
+ Providing costing data to ensure market-place competitiveness
+ Co-ordination of suppliers to achieve installation and supply deadlines
+ Cost analysis to identify areas of deviation
+ Compilation and maintenance of technical construction files

Because of the commercial nature of the role it is important you are as commercially aware as you are technically. Negotiation skills and project management as important as mechanical engineering and drawing packages.

If you are that rare mix of technical knowledge and commercial ability then this is a great opportunity to work for a truly outstanding company. Starting salaries range from £27-£35k dependent upon experience and background.
